Walnuts and Plums chocolate baskets
Try to imagine nicely grounded sweet walnuts, combined with
plums and then surrounded and dipped with creamy chocolate, and all of that
placed in a small bit-size boxes waiting for you to have them all...I know I’m always
stopping myself from having them all…These little heavens called Plums
chocolate baskets are my favorite small
desserts of all times.
I make them every time around New Year just because that is
the time filled with lots of celebrations,
cocktail parties or just gatherings, who are in need of something sweet,
with all those champagnes, or classy drinks that you will have. These baskets
are a huge hit in every party I host, they always disappear in a blink of an
eye…
The easiest way to make these is if you have someone to help
you. One for the plum-walnut balls and one to pour the chocolate filling into.
It ready in 3 steps. You pour little chocolate at the bottom, you place the
ball in the chocolate (and make sure to prepare a small ball), you fill the
basket and cover the ball with chocolate…And that is it!
Ingredients:
100g brown sugar
150g milk
200g ground walnuts
200 plums, chopped
100 g butter
200g dark chocolate
Foil cases or paper cases
Method:
- First boil the milk and sugar together and let the sugar dissolve. Add in the ground walnuts and chopped plums and stir them to combine. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate with butter on medium heat.
- Place around 20 foil cases so you can start lining the baskets.
- Using a teaspoon start layering. Pour in the cases first a little chocolate second small ball of the plum mixture and cover it on top with a chocolate until you fill the whole case. Continue until you use it all.
- Let them stiff into freeze or refrigerator.
- You can left them into the cases or serve them without them.
- Enjoy…
